6 Ways To Connect / Join Aluminium Extrusion

“What is the best way to connect aluminium profile?” is a frequently asked question from our customers. The answer is, it all depends on your requirements! Whether you’re looking for the most stable way of connecting aluminium profiles or rather the most cost-effective way, there will be an option for you! There are numerous techniques/products to assist with joining the aluminium profile, all of which will be specific to the performance requirements of the extruded profile.

Please see below the most common products used to secure/join aluminium profiles together:

 

Standard Brackets

Standard Brackets are the most commonly used bracket by our customers. You can use this bracket to connect two aluminum profiles or panels at right angles. The connection angle can be closed with the cover cap. 

 

This is a cost-effective and easy method of joining aluminium profiles at a right angle.

 

Corner Brackets

Corner brackets are used to connect up to three aluminum profiles at right angles. This Bracket is perfect when creating products such as work benches.

Corner brackets can connect either 3 square or half curved profiles with equivalent cross sections.

Square or Rounded cover caps can be purchased with this bracket in order to achieve a squared off or rounded finish to your build (rather than leaving the profiles exposed)

Inner brackets can be used to connect two aluminium profiles without the need for machining.

You can purchase either a left or a right inner bracket, depending on your requirements.

 

Cubic Connector

 

 

Cubic connectors are used for torsion-proof corner connections of aluminium profiles with equivalent cross-sections.

Cubic connectors can be purchased as a two-way or three-way connector, depending on your requirements.

As per the example image, Cover caps can purchase caps to create a flush, presentable connection in your builds.

 

 

Parallel Connector

Parallel Connector are used for a gap free connection between two aluminium strut profiles parallel to the axis ,or at any angle.

Parallel connectors consist of two sliding blocks with welded springs for simple assembly. Attractive interior connection, e.g for material shelves. Connection possible in any position!

 

T-Connector

T-Connectors are used to “tee” connect two aluminum profiles at a right angle. This is a flush and easy way to connect two pieces of profile.
